01, do not understand the official field sophistication, literacy but lose the official
Yao Xiang, a Ming Dynasty talent, did not take the examination for a person, so he donated funds to become a petty official. Once, his superiors named a man named Wang Ben as Wang Bao. At that time, this man named Wang Ben did not agree. Yao Xiang reported to his superiors in front of everyone: "The pronunciation of this word is 'Ben', and if you call him in the voice of 'Ben', he will agree." ”
The boss could not get off the stage, so he in turn ridiculed Yao Xiang and said, "A good Yao Xiang, you can still recognize this '贲' character." Later, he actually dismissed Yao Xiang's official for this small matter.
At that time, people said that they were literate but not sophisticated in the official field, but they harmed themselves.
02, standing hands hurt, writing feet also hurt
The Officials of the Qing Dynasty regarded being able to go to the palace on duty as an honorless honor. However, it is also a hard job to endure. Close to the emperor, he could only stand there with his hands hanging down, and after a long time, his qi and blood were poured, and his ten fingers were swollen. If you are assigned to a document written into the imperial canon, you will sit on your knees all day long, and your feet will not be able to stretch.
During the Kangxi Dynasty, Wang Tubing was on duty in the South Study For many years, and he was ordered to write the entire Huayan Sutra, and when he finished it, he said to the people: "When serving, I immediately have hand pain, and when I copy, my feet hurt, how can people from other provinces know this pain." "
03, The night of the Yuanyuan played cards, Yongzheng Chen knew
Wang Yunjin, on the night of New Year's Day, plays cards with relatives and friends. One less card is played.
The next day, Yongzheng asked him what kind of entertainment he had last night, and Wang Yunjin played back truthfully, and Yongzheng smiled and said, "Don't hide what you did in the dark room, you are zhenzhuangyuanlang." So he took a card out of his sleeve and showed it to the king, which turned out to be the one that had been lost last night.
In the early years of Yongzheng, the country was unstable, and many slow horses were sent out to spy, even if it was a small matter of the people, they were all reported to Yongzheng. Yongzheng took out a card to show Wang Yunjin, which was tantamount to telling Wang that your every word and deed was monitored by spies.
04. Li Lianying was actually impeached without castration, and the inspector's clothes were stripped off
Wang Xianqian was originally a liquor supervisor for Guozi, and was later appointed as the inspector of Jiangsu Province. People said that he paid bribes to Li Lianying to get this fat shortage, and Wang Xianqian knew about it, and fearing that Li Lianying's name would be polluted, he went to the court to impeach Li Lianying, saying that Li had not really castrated. After reading the song, Empress Dowager Cixi was furious and ordered Wang Xianqian to be stripped naked and paraded to the public, and dismissed his officials and driven back to the township.
However, in this way, Wang Xianqian's reputation for daring to defame shook the world. When Wang Xianqian left Beijing, Li Lianying said to everyone, "I know many people, and I have never seen such a cunning person as Wang Xianqian." The night before he begged me to have mercy on him, the next day he attacked and slandered me during the day. He thought that this would cover up his own ugliness, and I think it would expose his meanness. “
People who knew the inside story said that Li Lianying hated Wang Xianqian so much that she ruined his reputation in this way.
